encoding/base64: Add examples for Encode/Decode

[shihanng]

Currently we have examples for

• Encoding.DecodeString
• Encoding.EncodeToString

However, it would be nice if we can also include the example for

• Encode
• Decode

to demonstrate how to do the encoding/decoding to/from byte slice values.

If this is okay, I can submit a CL for review.

Having examples for those two methods should be helpful.

We want to make sure the examples are high quality and demonstrate good usage. We can ensure that's the case as part of the code review.

Please feel free to send a CL. Thanks.

/cc @rsc per owners.

Thanks! I will start working on this.

I am confused that the CL is abandoned without a reason and the issue is not closed.
Is it necessary to add a example for Encode ?

There was another CL submitted originally #37595 (comment) and still waiting to be reviewed.
